Strategic Mandate Agreement

Each of Ontario’s 45 publicly funded universities and colleges has an agreement highlighting institutional priorities for the period 2017-2020. These are called Strategic Mandate Agreements.

The agreements help promote student success and institutional excellence. They encourage institutions to work with the government to help build a highly skilled workforce and also put an emphasis on collaboration and openness. They focus on each institution’s strengths to enhance quality and outcomes, as well as planned enrolment growth and financial sustainability.
